Summer Skincare Tips to Get Your Skin Summer Ready

Share:

While you’re booking flights and a hotel for your summer getaway, don’t forget to prepare your skin for summer too. With flip-flop and shorts season just around the corner, use these summer skincare tips to prepare for sunny weather ahead.

Summer Skincare Starts with Exfoliation

Months of cold weather may have left your skin feeling dry and cracked. Start preparing your skin for summer with an exfoliating scrub on your face and body. Exfoliation benefits your winter skin in many ways. First, it sheds dead skin cells and encourages the growth of new ones. Your skin will look brighter, smoother and less oily which can unclog pores and clear up acne. While it’s important to exfoliate often, avoid over-exfoliation by only lightly scrubbing your skin once a week.

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate

It’s easy to remember to drink water, but don’t stop there – you can rehydrate skin in other ways. While hot showers provide much-welcomed humidity, water that’s too hot can have alternate effects. Ease the impact of your daily cleansing routine by swapping your products to a gentle cleanser and a thicker moisturizer. And, don’t forget to moisturize head-to-toe with a body butter or intensive care lotion to offset cracked skin on your elbows, feet and everywhere in between. Leslie Johnson, Director of Spa at Omni La Costa Resort & Spa, recommends the Anti-aging Body Balm from OSEA Malibu. The silky body balm nourishes and hydrates your skin with mineral-rich organic seaweed that seals in moisture and improves skin elasticity. 

Get Sun Ready

Finally, summer is synonymous with laying on the beach, outdoor dining and active pursuits. So protecting your skin from the sun may be the most important part of your summer skincare routine. Lathering on the sunscreen is important year-around, but it’s especially important while you soak up the sun. You can avoid long-term sun damage by applying sunscreen on your face daily, perhaps even try a two-in-one sunscreen foundation. Additionally, you can also take sun precautions with a hat, long sleeves, sunglasses and avoid outdoor activities in the peak of the day. Spa directors across Omni Resorts agree on Coola sun care products. Available in a variety of forms like spray mist, lotions, and cream, the organic formula feels comfortable to wear every day. Or try Supergoop PLAY Antioxidant Body Mist that’s infused with Vitamin C to combat free radicals.

The service starts by saturating the skin’s surface with antioxidants and peptides to bright and firm your glowing complexion. Staci Flores, Spa Director at Joya Spa adds, “Your skin exfoliation is infused with a customized serum blend catered to your skin’s needs. And instead of extractions, the procedure uses a gentle vacuum suction to remove debris from clogged pores, which will leave you feeling fresh and ready for the evening’s activities.”
